As with Image talk:GIs and Afghans relaxing at Kandahar Air Field.jpg this image illustrates an article about the Kandahar air field.
As to whether it shows a desert:
- The title of the image says the Stryker is patrolling outside Kandahar airfield.
- The other images of the airport show it is in an arid area.

- It doesn't matter what the the title of the image says, and that title was given by you. The other Image:GIs and Afghans relaxing at Kandahar Air Field.jpg is misleading because the GIs and Afghans are not relaxing at Kandahar Air Field as you claim. If you click on the source link ([1]) and hold the mouse pointer on this photo, you'll see a description saying "Member of a civil affairs unit out of Kandahar Air Field, Afghanistan, meet with leaders of a local Afghani village to arrange for humanitarian aid delivery and improvements that can be made to better the quality of life in the area." Kandahar Province is extremely huge and the village could be anywhere inside this province. The western soldiers stationed at Kandahar Airport visit villages throughtout the entire province as well as in other parts of the country. This image was not shot at Kandahar International Airport, rather it was shot at a village somewhere in Kandahar Province so the Kandahar Airport cat is misleading readers to think that the airport has homes made of mud where local Afghan villagers live in.--Executioner 14:50, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
